Small beige head, gone in secs over deep dark-beige beer. Mainly chocolate and a sharpish side-smell, that vaguely suggests sour. Very dry, dry coffee and ashes, wood. Something salty (DMS in high content? Seems a bit unlikely with this peculiar yeast). Addition of the yeast makes it not only creamier, but returns the chocolate from the nose. Very clean, and really dry palate. Feels well-carbonated, but light body. Refreshing. Refreshingly light ale. But of course, ACBF bashers will ignore this one, as it doesn’t fit their preconceptions.

330 ml bottle in Germany, and much thanks to Steptin. Has a dark black pour. Aroma is spicy, roasted and with some very different aromas that are hard to place. Flavor is watery smokey and burnt. Thin palate but very mellow.
